""By merging her close readings with sobering statistics about the impact of HIV and AIDS on Black women and girls, Lewis passionately argues for us to pay attention to the stories of Black women and the continuing effects of HIV/AIDS."" --Christina N. Baker, author of Contemporary Black Women Filmmakers and the Art of Resistance ""This is a brilliant, fascinating, welcome exploration of a topic that has historically been relegated to invisibility. Lewis masterfully assesses the ways black women creatives have deployed practical and analytical tools from generations of black feminists to allow their works to be instructive and empowering mechanisms of change."" --Trimiko Melancon, author of Unbought and Unbossed: Transgressive Black Women, Sexuality, and Representation
